Erica Mongelli

I am a proud DCPS parent of three kids; I have a rising 7th grade daughter (Elyse) at Deal, a 9th grade daughter (Ruth) at Jackson Reed, and a 4th grade son (Max) at Lafayette. We will be a Deal family for the next five years!! Previously, I served for three years as the Vice-President and then President of the Parent, School, Community Organization at West Education Campus, now John Lewis Elementary, and also served on their LSAT for two years. I valued the opportunity to learn from a diverse group of school stakeholders while serving in both roles, and I firmly believe that a strong partnership between families, schools and communities is essential to the success of our students. Professionally, I am the Director of Program Operations at Food for the Hungry, a humanitarian relief and development organization. I look forward to supporting the Deal community in the years to come!
